Sea sackHalasaccion glandiforme
Typical descriptions of Halosaccion glandiforme depict the plant as a
thin-walled elongated sausage-shaped sac found in the mid-intertidal
region of rock dominated shores. The plant is identifiable by its
rounded head and short stipe anchored by a small circular holdfast. It
ranges in colour from yellow/brown to red/purple. Also, because of the
water it contains, applying pressure to the plant produces fine sprays
of water emitted from the pores. (Race Rocks Taxonomy)

RCMP, Wet'suwet'en reach tentative deal to let gas company workers through
A tentative agreement has been reached to allow workers for a natural
gas pipeline company to access to an area in northern B..C. that had
been the focal point of First Nations opposition to a pipeline project
in their traditional territory. The hereditary leadership of the
Wet'suwet'en Nation spelled out some of the details of the tentative
deal in a Facebook livestream on Wednesday from the healing centre of
the Unist'ot'en camp. The camp is the site of the remaining blockade
preventing Coastal GasLink workers from accessing to the Wet'suwet'en
territory, which sits about 300 kilometres west of Prince George, B.C.
Under the deal, the RCMP would agree not to enter the healing centre
without permission and the Wet'suwet'en would allow workers to access
the territory by Thursday 2 p.m. PT. The Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs
have a meeting planned Thursday morning with the RCMP and Coastal
GasLink to iron out the final details. Chantelle Bellrichard reports.

State Sen. Ranker steps down from chairmanship during investigation
Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas, has stepped down from a planned leadership

Duties of the planned Senate Environment and Tourism Committee, which
Ranker was slated to chair, are being folded into two other Senate
panels.... Ranker will continue to sit on the now-renamed Senate
Environment, Energy and Technology Committee, and the Senate Ways and
Means Committee. Joel Connelly reports. (SeattlePI)

Oregon Starts Killing Sea Lions At Willamette Falls
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has started killing sea lions
below Willamette Falls to protect a fragile run of winter steelhead.
The state got a federal permit in November to kill up to 93 California
sea lions per year below the falls. So far, officials have killed three
sea lions using the same traps they used last year to relocate the
animals to the coast. A recent study found sea lions were eating so many
threatened winter steelhead at Willamette Falls that certain runs were
at a high risk of going extinct. One year, they ate about a quarter of a
run that was already down to about 500 fish. Cassandra Profita reports.

State releases strategy to make maritime sector the nation's most sustainable
Just over a year ago, Gov. Jay Inslee launched his “Washington Maritime
Blue” initiative. It aims to make the state’s seafaring sector the most
sustainable in the nation, by boosting innovations and clean technology
that help the environment and also grow jobs. The initiative was funded
with a $500,000 grant from the federal government. Now, a Maritime Blue
advisory council has rolled out the organization’s mission and strategic
plan to grow the sector through 2050. Bellamy Pailthorp reports. (KNKX)

Islanders watch for salmon, ways to help orcas
More than 40 volunteers and staff of the Vashon Nature Center ended 2018
with the largest count of salmon in island streams and creeks in
several years. But more important than the numbers, said director Bianca
Perla, is assembling a catalog to help identify salmon species, their
spawning tendencies and range, all of which inform continued
restoration. “We have 75 creeks on the island that have fish in them,
and we’re trying to figure out how many of those are supporting salmon
as well as trout,” said Perla. Paul Rowley reports. (Vashon Beachcomber)
